Preventive care

I ended up not letting them see my cat. Here's why... Didn't communicate I would need paperwork when I brought my cat in. Snapped at me about it like I was stupid Passive aggressive front desk employee 3+ hour drop off wait time when I wasn't told it was going to be drop off only Socks is a blind cat and needs special care and handling today showed me that this place does not have the skill or compassion to handle him. I won't take him here or leave him alone with this company because there have been so many poor handling reviews. if you all know each other and based on you front desk person there is no way in hell I will EVER leave you alone with my cat on the first visit. Trust me. Go elsewhere. Red flags 🚩

Ban field has taken such good care of my three baby doggies! The process is so easy! The staff is super friendly and always have great attitudes. I’m blessed to have them care for my furries.

I called in prior to bringing my dog Rosie in to chat with a vet and see if they thought her symptoms required a visit. Over the phone she told me she would love to see Rosie and from the few symptoms I gave she knew what tests she would run. I brought Rosie in and sure enough Rosie had what the vet tested for. I have Rosie signed up on the puppy plan so I only had to pay for 1 of the 2 tests that were run as well as her medication. Thank you for taking such good care of Rosie!
